Gottheimer gets perfect score on bipartisanship from U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-Wyckoff) has won the Jefferson-Hamilton Award for Bipartisanship from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for the second consecutive year.

“These awards recognize members of Congress who demonstrated a commitment to advancing bipartisan solutions that address our nation’s problems and move our economy forward,” said Suzanne Clark, the U.S Chamber of Commerce president. “In a time of intense polarization and gridlock, Josh Gottheimer’s record of working across the aisle is to be commended.”

Gottheimer is the co-chair of the House Problem Solvers Caucus, where an equal number of Democrats and Republicans seek bipartisan solutions to key policy issues.

The three-term North Jersey Democrat earned a 100% bipartisan score from the Chamber of Commerce.  He was one of three House members and two U.S. Senators to earn a perfect score.

“Now, more than ever, we see the importance of putting country and governing over partisan politics and gridlock,” Gottheimer said. “In Congress, I’m going to continue working together with anyone, Democrat or Republican, if the end result is good for Jersey and lives up to our values. That’s the only way we’ll actually solve the problems facing our nation and our communities.”
